CVE-2023-36926Network attack vector

Information disclosure via unauthenticated compatibility parameter

Published Aug 8, 2023 · Updated Oct 10, 2024

Missing authentication in SAP Host Agent 7.22 allows remote attackers to read non-sensitive server information over the network. The agent accepts an undocumented parameter set to a particular compatibility value without an authentication check, then permits read functions. Exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction, and the documented consequence is limited to disclosure with no integrity or availability impact.
